GOING TO BE CURTAILMENT, THERE IS EXTREME DANGER WITHOUT A SET STANDARD OR DEFINITION," HE DECLARED.

WRS. THOMPSON ASKED IF IT WERE NOT POSSIBLE IN THE LAW TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN LITERATURE OF DEGRADATION AS OPPOSED TO THAT ON THE ART LEVEL,

"IT CAN'T BE DONE WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF DUE PROCESS'." MR. GARRY SAID.

"SOME JURIES DON'T READ.

IN THE COURT HEARING PARAGRAPHS ARE PICKED OUT OF CONTEXT, AND THE JURY IS NEVER ABLE TO ENCOMPASS THE BOOK IN ITS TRUE SENSE," HE ADDED.

THE STATEMENT REMINDED MR. GARRY OF HIS OWN YOUTH-HIS SUNDAY SCHOOL DAYS. THE KIDS, HE RECALLED, USED TO PICK OUT SKJUT IN THE BOOK OF RUTH. YET WE DO NOT CONSIDER THE BOOK OF RUTH PORNOGRAPHIC.

IN DISCUSSING HER BOOK, "PORNOGRAPHY AND THE LAW", DR. KRONHAUSEN SAID SHE AND HER HUSBAND ARE AGAINST CENSORSHIP. "WE ARE NOT NAIVE ENOUGH TO THINK, HOWEVER, THAT OUR CULTURE IS READY FOR 'HARD CORE PORNOGRAPHY'. IN OUR BOOK WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO DEFINE HARD CORE PORNOGRAPHY' IN ORDER FOR THE COURTS TO DECIDE AGAINST THAT TINIEST BIT OF MATERIAL (WHICH IS AN EXTREMELY RARE PHENOMENA) AND TO PROTECT EROTIC REALISM AS FOUND IN 'LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER' AND 'NEMOIRS OF HECATE COUNTY'. THE PORTRAYAL OF LIFE IN LITERATURE NECESSARILY INCLUDES SEX, AND THIS DIFFERENTIATION MUST BE MADE," SHE ADDED.

WALTER WINTER, ATTORNEY, POINTED OUT THAT IN THE MATTER OF LEGISLATION, "IT IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO STOP" AND THAT HE WAS ALWAYS RELUCTANT TO SEE RIGHTS TAKEN FROM INDIVIDUALS. HE SAID IT SHOULD BE KEPT IN MIND THAT UNLESS THE LAW HAS A VALID PURPOSE THERE SHOULD BE NO LAW--IT MUST HAVE MEANING TO THE COMMUNITY.

"FIRST WE SHOULD EXAMINE WHY THERE SHOULD BE LAWS. IN THIS INSTANCE, IT GOES BACK TO THE REARING OF CHILDREN IN THE HOME. INSTEAD OF SUPPRESSION, WE SHOULD ENCOURAGE PUBLICATION AND EDUCATION ABOUT SEX," IR. WINTER URGED.
